Farever Quest Guide: Early Missions, Critters, and Codex Tasks

Farever combines traditional MMORPG questing with open-world exploration, platforming, and Codex hunting across the realm of Siagarta. Quest progression awards substantial character experience, often filling around 20% of your experience bar per turn-in while unlocking vital gear caches, runes, and travel points.

Whether you are completing starter errands on the shores of Meridian or tracking down elusive critters in Honeywoods, this walkthrough outlines quest objectives, NPC locations, and completion steps based on player tests and confirmed in-game data.

Understanding Quest Types in Farever

Quests in Farever are distributed by camp NPCs, auto-triggered through open-world encounters, or tied to regional exploration. Most settlements feature an Obelisk, which serves as a waypoint, fast-travel hub, and map reveal beacon, surrounded by key quest-givers.

• Main and Regional Story Quests: Direct adventures through local zones such as Meridian, Prime Valley, and Honeywoods, culminating in dungeon excursions like the Lost City of Mayeda.
• Codex Tasks: Assigned by NPCs like Hilda Lambert, requiring you to defeat specified quantities of wildlife to log them into your monster encyclopedia.
• Critter and Companion Quests: Initiated by hunting enthusiasts like H. Catch'em, requiring tools like the Large Butterfly Net to capture wild pets.
• Auto-Generated Bounty Quests: Triggers such as "One Big Piece," which activates automatically upon approaching specific open-world elites like Gruffy in Myer's Pasture.

Meridian Starter Quest Walkthrough: Amago Shore to Camp

Your adventure begins at Amago Shore. The initial quests introduce basic combat mechanics, Codex milestones, and environmental puzzles.

1. Crab Duty (Tyra Firma)

After spawning on the docks, run toward the beach to speak with Tyra Firma.

1. Accept her task to clear crabs roaming the shore.
2. Defeat normal crabs until the required quest item drops. Defeating eight crabs also finishes their initial entry in your Codex (press L), granting bonus XP.
3. Open the nearby Welcoming Treasure chest before leaving. Interacting with the chest reveals energy beams pointing toward three magical orbs. Touch all three orbs to unlock the loot.
4. Return to Tyra Firma on the wooden bridge to turn in the quest.

2. Research Tasks (Hilda Lambert and Miss Art)

Head uphill to the first encampment and interact with the Obelisk to clear the regional fog, set your spawn point, and obtain your Spark Stone recall item. Speak with the two quest NPCs stationed at the camp:

• Documenting Wildlife (Hilda Lambert): Requires registering at least five different monster species in your Codex. Defeating eight regular monsters, four large monsters, or one elite registers a species.
• Sparkling Creatures: Requires hunting two "sparkling" mutated specimens in the wild—a slime and a bee.

To complete these tasks efficiently:

1. Follow the path right from camp toward the waterfall to defeat green slimes. While in the area, check behind the waterfall to collect hidden rings and speak with the hidden NPC Hayden Seek, who awards 50 gold and a weapon Training Manual.
2. Complete the Promontory Race along the bend by grabbing blue orbs to extend your timer, then engage the Sparkling Slime located just past the finish line.
3. Use geysers to launch onto the high plateaus populated by apex bees. Eliminate harvesters and slay the Sparkling Harvester stationed on the cliff ledge.
4. Unlock The Southern Loot chest by interacting with its three dispersed orbs (one down near the shore, one inside a rear rock cave, and one on an adjacent island reached by geyser).
5. Use your Spark Stone to recall to the camp obelisk and turn in the quests.

Advancing to Sapresti Point and the Lost City of Mayeda

Completing your camp tasks directs your route west across the water to Sapresti Point, where combat encounters scale up.

Clearing the Coastline and Seaside Bastion

1. Defeat the elite fish foe, Scuttle Goldengill, stationed right at the water's edge. Dodge his frontal cone attack to avoid heavy damage.
2. Slay roaming fiddler crabs, wave mongers, runners, and fighters to complete their eight-kill Codex milestones.
3. Clear out the enemy camp at the Seaside Bastion to fill the zone objective meter, which unlocks the central camp reward chest.
4. Reaching level 5 awards a blue mystery cache in your inventory, granting a choice between blue-tier weapons featuring unique passive abilities. Use your saved Training Manual to upgrade your chosen weapon's skill rank immediately.

Dungeon Quest: The Lost City of Mayeda

Speak with Lam Ada standing outside the dungeon entrance before stepping inside. This dungeon can be tackled solo or in a group.

• Special Foes Objective: To unlock the final dungeon chest, you must eliminate all 11 designated special foes marked with purple health bars. Normal crabs can be bypassed, but purple-bar enemies must be cleared.
• Platforming Hazards: Use the water geysers and moving turtle platforms to cross gaps while collecting hidden rings. Delay popping your glider slightly when launching from high-velocity geysers to avoid overshooting target ledges.
• Boss Encounter (Mr. Naps Alone): Circle the boss continuously to break his shield. Avoid his concentrated water beam attack, which deals heavy damage and pushes players off the platform into the hazard depths below.
• Dungeon Exit: Speak with Lam Ada upon leaving to complete the quest, then take the ascending ramp and geyser leading north into the Prime Valley encampment at Crossroam.

Honeywoods Quests: Hidden Critter and Flower of the Flock

Two of the most frequently asked-about mid-game quests take place near the massive hive tree in Honeywoods.

Preparation: Gotta Catch One and Buying a Net

Before heading out to catch critters, ensure you have the proper tool:

1. Visit a Guild Merchant in Prime Valley (or any major outpost).
2. Open the trade inventory and purchase a Large Butterfly Net.
3. Alternatively, claiming the free companion from the in-game Shop menu has been reported by players to satisfy the early "Gotta Catch One" companion tutorial quest objective automatically.

Step-by-Step: Hidden Critter & Flower of the Flock Walkthrough

Both quests can be completed simultaneously in a secluded cave tucked under the canopy of the Honeywoods hive tree.

1. Accept the "Hidden Critter" quest from H. Catch'em near the Honeywoods Obelisk.
2. Head north toward the great tree and begin the bumper jumping puzzle using the flower pads. Complete the route to reach the high-canopy teleport tile, which teleports you up to the treetop area.
3. Move toward the western edge of the tree platform, dropping one tier down past the purple bee boss, Beelial, and the small waterfall.
4. Look down off the western cliff face to spot hanging vines, roots, and a protruding flower on a lower isolated island. Glide down along the root line to reach the cave entrance.
5. Collect the Zealotus Petals (Xyloto's petals) from the flowers growing right outside and inside the cave entrance. These satisfy the turn-in requirements for Beely the Bee's "Flower of the Flock" quest.
6. Open the cave chest inside. Players have confirmed this chest has a chance to drop the rare Ladybug Mount.
7. Equip your Large Butterfly Net. Look along the cave stairs and upper ledge for the small yellow Ladybug critter crawling on the stone. Line up your swing and capture it to add it to your collections menu.
8. Teleport back to turn in the Zealotus Petals to Beely the Bee, then speak with H. Catch'em to finish "Hidden Critter" for approximately 700 XP.

Open-World Bounty: Gruffy and the "One Big Piece" Quest

Farever also features unlisted encounter quests that trigger when discovering specific named monsters in the landscape.

In Myer's Pasture, approaching the elite field boss named Gruffy automatically generates the one-time quest "One Big Piece." Defeating Gruffy completes the task and offers a chance to obtain the level 17 blue fist weapon Ramulus & Ramus (Remulus and Remus). Player tests have highlighted this weapon for an unintended bug causing its crowd-control skill to apply an indefinite stun lock to non-boss enemies that lack innate stun immunity.

Early Quest Progression Reference

The following table summarizes key early-game quests, their locations, and their primary deliverables:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I complete Codex quests faster?

Codex kill requirements are shared among party members. Normal monsters require eight kills, large monsters require four kills, and elites require one kill. Grouping up allows you to hit eight kills in seconds across clustered enemy camps like the fish mobs at Seaside Bastion.

Where do I get a net for critter catching quests?

You can buy the Large Butterfly Net from Guild Merchants located at major settlements, such as the Prime Valley encampment or Honeywoods outposts. Equip the net in place of your weapon to swing at critters.

How do I return to quest givers quickly after exploring?

Check your inventory for the Spark Stone provided upon activating your first Obelisk. Using this item acts as a free hearthstone recall back to your active waypoint. Death stones also exist in your inventory to warp you back to where you last fell.

Can dungeon quests be completed solo?

Yes. Dungeons such as the Lost City of Mayeda can be soloed on normal difficulty by recognizing attack telegraphs and dodging frontal cones. Ensure you defeat all purple-health-bar special foes along the path, or the completion chest at the end will remain locked.
